Well, so far they have royally F-ed up my order, and it's proving to be quite the pain in the ass.  Should've sent the funds to Bitpay and gone to their physical store...support techs say they have to confirm I paid...which I did two days ago for an order that should have been here today, but they have yet to ship.

 

If they are true noobs and not shill accounts trying to pump stats than this is the saloon you want to be drinking from, because it's still early and we're attracting noobs organically without the hype you see from coins like Doge (and priced as the most expensive coin on coinmarket.io).

By the time the first halving occurs, we'll all be saying things like "The Klondike is all panned out"...secretly carrying ounce upon delightful yellow ounce, and a gun.  We've got another two months or so till we're the old timers round these parts.  

Someone PM me if I win anything...I'm kind of sick of checking this thread...after months of dreaming, this has been quite a let-down.

Fiat could have been snail-mailed economy and reached all the winners worldwide by now.  Is this really so hard to pin down the organizers
of this contest?  Not boding well for Coinroll.it, what if I had a stuck transaction...is this the kind of wait I can expect...may as well partner
with Gox for payouts.

Some of the posts on this thread confirm directly what I thought might happen here.  We are going to pull in people that have never mined before, which is outstanding.  This coin may have extra appeal from the crossover of google search terms like "Mining", the amazing Discovery channel show "Klondike", and "gold-rush".  That means organic exposure that may even get extra social media presence from new miners.

I also appreciate the Kimotos Gravity system of difficulty distribution, Litecoin has been left with huge difficulties after massive farms move to the latest more profitable Dog or cat or whatever. 

I'm also a huge fan of the fact that this is still mostly unlisted...that works to our benefit atm, presuming you're holding what you mine.

Something kind of fun about being part of the electronic Gold Rush, like we're all Bill Haskell's, minus the arctic tundra and avalanches.

No...hasn't been out a full month yet, halving occurs every 3 months.

Also had good dealings with Showtimex, sold him a 7950, he paid up front, so I shipped and delivered promptly.

Nevermind, duh!

I'm in favor of making the list say I won, but good for you if you had multiple accounts and get multiple payouts...cheaters always prosper, that's the message we're after right?

 

I might point my miner at this for a while...mainly because the show Klondike has given me gold fever.

Or plan for delays like I did...Batch 4 just started looking a whole lot juicier with actual shipments and tons of people getting out of line early!

Wouldn't be the first time cheaters got disqualified and knocked me into a winners seat.

Good luck to all legitimate players...hopefully they will look into these fake accounts and
make a ruling based on 1 entry per person...probably even easier to look into now that
"the winner" has logged in...probably on the same ip as some of the other "winners".

Between the fake accounts and the extreme delay, this raffle has been somewhat of a
let down, that and the initial list doesn't include my name.

I fell for that too...even posted about it.  Truth is Billionaires buy and sell quite a bit, and often, so what they are saying is simply a sensationalized and dramatized telling in the hopes that you'll buy the stock the ad at the bottom is promoting.

I have been under the belief that we have hit a triple top reversal point with the S&P 500.  This was a conclusion I reached the day I learned what a triple top reversal was, and while I found further evidence of it in sensationalized articles like the one you described, I simply looked at a long term view of the S&P500 and it was right there.  Apparently Bernacke and QE are steering the markets upward right now...curious to see what happens if they lose grip of the reigns.

Well...at least I had fun dreaming about what I would do with the 50 Bitcoins.  And who knows, maybe someone did the list wrong and I've actually won...has Scrat been on to confirm the winners?

If you want help spending your winnings, I've got a couple Casascius Series 3 coins I'm looking to unload.  2.1 BTC shipped worldwide, mint condition in vacuum sealed bags.

That is of course presuming the winners ever get paid...any word from John K?

Couldn't agree more...now can we get back to discussing the features of Mastercoin?  I really wish the discussion was surrounding how to issue/broadcast user currencies and smart properties.  This is the true goldmine underlying Mastercoin, trading Mastercoins will eventually seem royally stupid, much like Bitcoin I operate from a "Gotta catch 'em all" mentality...or at least the more I have today the better off I'll be tomorrow.

Have any user currencies or smart properties been issued already?  If so, are they live on the network, or are they tests?  I'm really interested in playing with the protocol layer and helping in whatever way I can on this project.  Hopefully it helps me profit enough to own and operate a hemp farm in America, and if there's a way to add commodities like hemp as an option, I would love to get in on that now.

You can't change your address on that thread, as it has been locked by the moderator.

I know because I tried and the only option was to "delete".  I haven't adorned this banner for half
a year to throw it all away now!

I so hate this troll that hijacked my account...hopefully people will see the difference between the moron who wrote this shit and me, who is sometimes moronic, but well meaning at the least.

I love Bitcoin, and all things Crypto...just ask anyone who knows me in real life, I can't shut up about it.

Pretty sure that about sums it up, time of delivery is key for both this project and Alpha, as it is with most mining...though as far as I can tell...we're all early.  Even the damned usb miners are delivering ROI for people that got in when they first came out, and I suspect anyone buying the hardware today will be greatly awarded for doing so ten years from now...probably much sooner...but especially in ten years.

I know I'm resurrecting a dead thread here, but I have to voice my thought that the full extent of Ben Bernanke's Ponzi scheme has never been fully realized by the global economy, and I believe that was the one that did exactly what you describe here.  The Royal Families were investing with Bernanke, hence their financier killing himself in his office upon Bernanke's arrest.  In fact...I believe we're at the top of a triple top reversal in the S&P 500, but the market is being manipulated heavily if not downright driven upward with hot air while the whales exit safely.  

This is the biggest house of cards in history...and Bitcoin looks to be part of the winds of change.

Yep, use a legit exchange or do some deals with senior members where you send the masterCoins first and
get positive feedback flowing in.  If you're legit, Tomatocage will probably remove that warning, and perhaps
the other two would consider removing their negative feedbacks as well...or you're just as advertised and
trying to con people out of their money.

I think the reference to Dogecoin in his name discredits him pretty severely right off the bat.  

But please don't trade with people that are trying to steal from you.

I just used MasterXchange...which you can now get to via http://www.cryptocoincharts.info/v2/markets/show/masterxchange

Don't get confused with MST on Cryptsy...you cannot buy masterCoin there, the one called "Mastercoin (MST)" is either intentionally misnamed or unfortunately timed.  MSC is not like a standard sha256 or scrypt alt-coin and cannot be mined (people bought in somewhat like an IPO, so before you go screaming premine, understand this is entirely different, it's an overlay on the existing Bitcoin protocol, making it rather unique to date).

This may be redundant, but I think people need to see some sort of notice about this all over the place because it's misleading at the least.
